Woodfines Solicitors has announced the appointment of three new trainee solicitors – Davina Jirh, Holly Shenton and Joseph Cowles – as part of its two-year training programme.

The trio, all former paralegals at Woodfines, will work across a range of legal teams at the firm’s three offices as they continue their professional development.

Mike Hayward, Partner at Woodfines, said: “Today marks the start of an exciting two-year training programme where Holly, Davina and Joseph will gain invaluable experience working with a full range of our legal teams across our three offices.

Alongside the trainee appointments, Woodfines has also welcomed Keyjana Raymond as the firm’s first Legal Apprentice, combining practical experience with a funded legal study programme.
